That's why I suggested trading for Kuemper. I think he could win those big playoff games for the Leafs.
- gergeswillems

Arizona should be ripe for the picking.. Dubas should be calling daily.

It's tricky because teams that have a young Dman equivalent to Nylander in terms of hockey value probably aren't gonna trade that player in the first place.
- Zezel

That's what I was telling Roeper. There's a limited amount of those guys available. If they're even available at all.

- PatC80

Coyotes will have a fire sale. You're right. Dubas should be all over it like Roeper on Isles news.

Outvof curiosity looked at Arizona and saw Kessel had 14 goals this year, (frank) that's brutal

Severson, Zacha and 7th overall for Marner and Dermont
- bmoney411

Forget it, l'm trading Marner for Tkachuk.

If they can pull that off I am all in on the Pietrangelo gamble. That's a lot of cap space... But if they make it work.. I'm in.

I'd also be in on the Pietrangelo business at reasonable cap or low term. 7 mil x 5 or 9 mil x 2. Sure. I don't see that being anything close to contracts he would sign however.
- joel878

I know that it's just a negotiating tactic by Pietrangelo this far out from the start of free agency, but it would be nice if he did sign here..

If he does stay in St. Louis, I hope the Leafs can offer them a package for Parayko and then somehow get Pesce

425 new cases today.

Not good.

Let’s just dump a truckload of steroids and pics of people burning Swedish flags on Liljegren’s doorstep and build the monster that we need on the blueline

Also, where the F is Rasanen? 😡

My guess is he has zero motivation, and it's not going to get any better if he stays in Arizona.

- gergeswillems

It's hard to think of a specific situation where a good fit exists, unless it's Nylander for a lesser Dman and pick

actually according to dubie, hes not receiving much value in the offers hes receiving from other gms for willie.
- Fakepartofme

Mirtle actually said that. And maybe he means not enough value for his skill.

425 new cases today.

And soon people will not be able to hang outside. People are not accepting this is a two or three year effort. It's just like 1918, it came back even worse in the fall and winter.

- gergeswillems

they need draft picks, right?


go get Keumper and Crouse

Arizona should be ripe for the picking.. Dubas should be calling daily.
- PatC80

Yup. Kumper makes 1 million more than his cap hit. No chance he returns there.

Patrick, Myers and Frost

for

Nylander, Dermott and Bracco
- mr.sir

wow!!! Flyers do not pick up the phone

- Zezel

I don't know why people continue to ignore all warnings

Yeah, it means you have to grind one pair to death and then ship two less than competent pairs to the wolves while they sit in the bench.

You have to put a gun to your salary caps skull to do it, and more than likely agree to a contract that has tons of red flags saying it won't age well written all over it.

You have to repeat the exact same mistake you've made at forward and pretend it will work this time.

The more this one is beaten to death... The more I'm shifting from hey Pietrangelo is solid I'll deal with it to... It's a terrible idea. Terrible.
- joel878

Eh... I think you're over-stating the "grind". Also, the Leafs have Muzzin on the 2nd pair who is more than capable of handling extra minutes as well.

The Leafs can always add at the TDL if Holl or Lehtonen don't pan out on the 2nd pair.

Your last sentence sounds is delicious and makes me want to beat this dead horse more and more.

My guess is he has zero motivation, and it's not going to get any better if he stays in Arizona.
- Atomic Wedgie

Yeah, and fitness and age catching up. He could have been HOF material if he ate his chia seeds and did his yoga.

Yup. Kumper makes 1 million more than his cap hit. No chance he returns there.
- RogerRoeper

Exactly and Andersen only makes $1M in actual salary.

Exactly, but a bunch of people here still say no😞

Andersen has huge value because of that.

- Zezel

Yup, we're all gonna die...so having a legit top 4 d doesnt matter. We can all be friends.


Also, it was expected that as restrictions were loosened, the numbers would go up for a bit.

Plus some people are dumb.

That's what I was telling Roeper. There's a limited amount of those guys available. If they're even available at all.
- gergeswillems

So then trade him for any top 4 D!

Leafs are getting a 1st pair D. Book it.

the street meat finally caught up to him.
